- Flag font: ship a committed fontTools subset (43 KB, -45%) of
TwemojiCountryFlags.woff2 with only the 15 flags the site uses, under a
content-hashed name with a preload on every flag-bearing page. The build
validates the subset against a manifest and fails when a new flag
appears without regenerating (npm run subset-flags). JS subsetters
(subset-font/harfbuzzjs) were rejected: their wasm builds silently drop
the COLR/CPAL color tables, rendering all flags invisible.
- Responsive mascots: legal/join/404 pages served 434-500px sources for
175-180px slots; the build now emits 180w/360w variants (AVIF 1x: ~7 KB
vs ~22 KB) and the pages use srcset. Small logo spots (14-42px) now use
the existing 64/128px variants instead of the 256px file.
- injectAvifPictures copies the img sizes attribute onto the AVIF
<source>; without it Chrome mis-selects w-descriptor candidates and can
drop the image entirely.
- AVIF conversion is cached by content hash (.avif-cache.json); the old
mtime check never hit because copyDirSync refreshes mtimes, so every
verify re-encoded all 26 files.
- HTML output is minified (comments + indentation, <pre> preserved,
newlines kept for inline-script safety): index.html 121 KB -> 93 KB.
- unicode-range trimmed to U+1F1E6-1F1FF; tag-sequence flags fall through
to the system emoji font.

- CI release workflow now extracts version from tag (v1.4.0 → 1.4.0)
and injects it into manifest.base.json, shared/constants.js, and
package.json before building — the tag is the single source of truth
- Build script now copies README.md alongside constants.js and
blacklist.js from /shared → /extension/shared/ (full mirror)
- .gitignore updated: extension/shared/ is fully generated by build
- AI_INIT.md: simplified release workflow, fixed Chrome-only reference
